Everyone, at some point in life, has had that one moment where it brought them that sense of accomplishment. It makes you feel good and like you’re on top of the world. Nothing can bring you down. No matter how hard someone might try to rain on your parade, but it just won’t work. Sometimes it comes when you win an award or simply make someone’s day even better. That feeling of accomplishment came to me when I made a dear friend’s life a little better and in the process changed my life around. Even though feeling accomplished is normally because you did something for yourself, you can always feel it when you impact another person.
My journey began when I was in the first grade. There was a girl, in my class of all girls, and she had down syndrome. …show more content…
It made me realize how much of a jerk I was and I didn’t like what I had become. I was trying to fit in with the other girls not even realizing I was outcasting others. The more time I spent with Morgan the more fun I had and I enjoyed waking up every morning to go be with her. The original girls I was with started making fun of me because I wanted to be with Morgan and not them. That made me feel terrible on the inside and in that moment I knew what we put Morgan through. I didn’t want anyone feeling that way again so I changed and became a leader from that day forward. I apologized to her mom, my mom, my teacher, and most important Morgan herself. After I did that Morgan and I became the best of friends and I was her mentor for two more years until we moved to Illinois. It was hard saying goodbye and I often wonder how she is doing. Maybe I can get in contact with her one day. She really helped me, but I also helped her.
At the end of the day, that feeling of accomplishment leaves a warm bubbly feeling inside for a while. Whether it was a goal that you reached or an award that you won. It lasts a while and sometimes can make a huge impact on your life. My feeling of accomplishment was when i changed my life around by helping Morgan become a more confident person and look forward to life. It was hard for me in the beginning but I am glad my mom and teachers did that for us both because it was the best
